Lighting up to 7 Times Brighter Than Other LED Landing Lights!
Lighting FAA-PMA Approved AeroLEDs Lighting Increase safety and reduce operating cost! See the Difference... Lighting Know the Difference... • Increased safety • Direct replacement • Up to 80% reduced power consumption • Long life - over 50,000 hours! • Lighter weight - no heavy power supply - save up to 3 lbs • Reduced drag • Zero maintenance • 10x more efficient than incandescent! Increased Safety AeroLED lights allow you to comply with the latest FAA recommendations (Operation Lights On) regarding extended use of taxi, landing, and anti-collision lights without fear of reduced light performance or life. They all feature optimized light color (6500k sunlight equivalent) for proven superior air-to-air recognition. The landing and taxi lights also feature an optional pulsed recognition light mode. Reduced Power Consumption High efficiency LED lights use less than 1/3 the power of halogen bulbs. They significantly reduce the load on the electrical system and they won't dim due to low voltage, typical of low RPM final approaches when you need them most! Postition lights aerodynamic design results in less drag than original equipment! Longer Life - Zero Maintenance All AeroLED products are designed to be a "lifetime buy". They last over 50,000 hours when properly installed and do not degrade with on/off cycles. They are extremely rugged and hardened against all kinds of electrical damage, shock, and vibration. Up to 7 times brighter than other LED landing lights! PAR36 Landing Light Comparison Measured Brightness at 50 Ft. Manufacturer Intensity -

Chapter 13.2: Topographic Maps 1
Chapter 13.2: Topographic Maps 1 A map is a model or representation of objects and terrain in the actual environment. There are numerous types of maps. Some of the types of maps include mental, planimetric, topographic, and even treasure maps. The concept of mapping was introduced in the section using natural features. Maps are created for numerous purposes. A treasure map is used to find the buried treasure. Topographic maps were originally used for military purposes. Today, they have been used for planning and recreational purposes. Although other types of maps are mentioned, the primary focus of this section is on topographic maps. Types of Maps Mental Maps – The mind makes mental maps all the time. You drive to the grocery store. You turn right onto the boulevard. You identify a street sign, building or other landmark and know where this is where you turn. You have made a mental map. This was discussed under using natural features. Planimetric Maps – A planimetric map is a two dimensional representation of objects in the environment. Generally, planimetric maps do not include topographic representation. Road maps, Rand McNally ® and GoogleMaps ® (not GoogleEarth) are examples of planimetric maps. Topographic Maps – Topographic maps show elevation or three-dimensional topography two dimensionally. Topographic maps use contour lines to show elevation. A chart refers to a nautical chart. Nautical charts are topographic maps in reverse. Rather than giving elevation, they provide equal levels of water depth. Topographic Maps Topographic maps show elevation or three-dimensional topography two dimensionally. Topographic maps use contour lines to show elevation. -
Maps and Charts
Name:______________________________________ Maps and Charts Lab He had bought a large map representing the sea, without the least vestige of land And the crew were much pleased when they found it to be, a map they could all understand - Lewis Carroll, The Hunting of the Snark Map Projections: All maps and charts produce some degree of distortion when transferring the Earth's spherical surface to a flat piece of paper or computer screen. The ways that we deal with this distortion give us various types of map projections. Depending on the type of projection used, there may be distortion of distance, direction, shape and/or area. One type of projection may distort distances but correctly maintain directions, whereas another type may distort shape but maintain correct area. The type of information we need from a map determines which type of projection we might use. Below are two common projections among the many that exist. Can you tell what sort of distortion occurs with each projection? 1 Map Locations The latitude-longitude system is the standard system that we use to locate places on the Earth’s surface. The system uses a grid of intersecting east-west (latitude) and north-south (longitude) lines. Any point on Earth can be identified by the intersection of a line of latitude and a line of longitude. Lines of latitude: • also called “parallels” • equator = 0° latitude • increase N and S of the equator • range 0° to 90°N or 90°S Lines of longitude: • also called “meridians” • Prime Meridian = 0° longitude • increase E and W of the P.M. -

The Special Local Notice to Mariners is an annual Coast Guard Eleventh District publication. It contains important information for mariners transiting the seacoast from the California/Oregon border to the United States/Mexico border and all federally designated navigable waters in Nevada, Utah, Arizona and California. I hope you find this publication a helpful guide for boater safety. Over the last year, this Special Local Notice to Mariners has received several modifications and updates. It includes tips and information for trip planning, local hazards and points of contact for obtaining further information or answering questions. We also provide excerpts from the various federal laws and regulations regarding vessel boarding, reporting marine pollution, aids to navigation and Vessel Traffic Service procedures. The most basic responsibility of the U.S. government is to protect the lives and safety of its citizens. Coast Guard maritime safety activities save lives, minimize damage to property, protect the environment, and safeguard the U.S. economy. As the Eleventh District Commander, it is an honor to work with the maritime community and I am committed to keeping our waterways safe and secure. -
